All in the Family

This weekend was a full family weekend, with my cousin's 47th birthday celebration in Luebeck, a Sunday afternoon with my grandmother, and an evening barbecue (they call it "grilling" here) with my aunt, uncle, cousin, and her family of four. Perfect was when my cousin asked his five-year-old son (who I've only seen as an infant) if he remembered me and, peering through his round glasses, he confidently replied with a yes. Too cute.
